This is probably a less unusual opinion than you'd think - power steering, especially modern power steering, insulates you from the feel of the road. The argument is usually hydraulic power steering vs electric power steering these days, but there are plenty of people who have weekend cars with no power steering to optimize road feel. How reasonable it is to drive without power steering depends a lot on the car, so you'll see this more commonly with something like a Miata where even without power steering it's not that hard to turn the wheel.
